Day old bread, back yard eggs and grapes.

Cost? No idea. Bread costs about 70¢ to make. Grapes free, eggs practically free, sausage $1 per person, quarter cup of honey as syrup, half a stick of butter, 1/3 cup milk, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla extract. Probably $3.20?

          That’s the honey and butter. And because of the air frier sausage this has less grease than the typical preparation. I genuinely appreciate sarcasm. Unironically.

        I look up Pain Perdu and found many versions made differently. Top of the results gives a recipe originating from Louisiana, which had a large population of french immigrants once apon a time, and the culture there remains heavily influenced by such.

        Perhaps the US people do “weird things” to recipes is because we are a country full of immigrants adapting each others recipes with ingredients found here over many generations.

        We are a melting pot, and thus there are not strict rules for American cuisine.

          I think that the thing is that when people arrived in the Americas, they no longer had anything familiar, yet they tried to cook something akin to what they had at home with whatever was available, and they slapped a heartwarming name on it.
          And here we are, decades later, wondering why those recipes got so twisted.
